Chapter 405
Chapter 405:
The comment section was filled with cruel remarks. Many people were openly attacking both Kailey and Ryan, and the arguments had already split into two sides that kept clashing without pause.
After finishing the call, Devin returned to the office and immediately sensed the heavy tension in the air. A chill ran down his spine.
Kyson sat upright in his chair with his legs crossed at the edge of the desk, his gaze fixed on the screen. The coldness around him made the room feel even more suffocating.
“Mr. Blake…” Devin paused and rubbed his nose. “What should we do next p>
For several moments, Kyson said nothing. His expression revealed nothing, which only made Devin feel more uncertain.
In Devin’s view, a smear campaign on this scale could not have been arranged by a single person. Even the skilled tech team at Blake Group was struggling to control the spread, and he couldn’t think of any other solution. Besides, online topics changed every day — if they chose to stay silent, there was a chance people would lose interest soon. Still, the comments aimed at Kailey were especially vicious. Earlier, Devin had skimmed through them and even noticed edited photos posted by people with malicious intent. As someone not involved, he still found the content hard to look at, so he could only imagine how it must feel for his boss.
Just as Devin drifted deeper into his thoughts, Kyson’s icy voice cut through the silence. “Find out Ryan’s current location p>
“Boss, are you saying this might be connected to Mr. Owen p>
Kyson shot him a brief look before leaning back and pulling open a drawer. He took out a data cable and linked the tablet to his computer, his long fingers moving swiftly across the keyboard. “This is Olivia’s doing. Since he’s her boyfriend, his public statement will carry the most weight p>

Olivia had built her career as a journalist overseas for years and had developed an extensive network during that time. If she decided to push a story forward, she would have plenty of people willing to help. At the end of it all, the real source of the problem was Ryan — he was the only one who could put an end to this crisis.
A look of realization flashed across Devin’s face. “I’ll handle it right away p>
“Hold on p>
Kyson’s voice stopped him just as he reached the door. Assuming there was another urgent order, Devin turned back.
“Send the Doberman over and let Kailey take it out for a walk p>
Devin could only stare in disbelief. It didn’t take long for him to figure out what Kyson meant — he was concerned that Kailey might dwell on the issue and wanted to keep her occupied with something else.
After Devin stepped out, Kyson shifted his focus back to the monitor, where strings of code continued flashing across the screen. Not long after, his eyes narrowed thoughtfully. From the start, he had already suspected Olivia, yet he hadn’t expected a journalist like her to have connections reaching across so many countries. Could it be that someone powerful was supporting her behind the scenes?
